Weston fell to 6-3 overall and 6-2 in the SWC. "Turnover after turnover,'' coach John Matthews said. "They're turning into goals for the other team, and you just can't win that way."

Norwalk High Hires New Basketball Coach Tom Keyes was named the new boys basketball coach at Norwalk High School on Monday. And he has two Stamford coaches to thank for helping him get the opportunity. Keyes, 29, was tabbed Monday by athletic director Wayne Mones to take on the task of rebuilding the Bears. Keyes worked for a year as an assistant to Howard White at Westhill High School. He joined the Vikings after Stamford's Jim Moriarty, who Keyes sought out at meeting among social studies teachers in Stamford, told him to consider pursuing it. Keyes is a teacher at Rogers International School in Stamford. Keyes was also the hea…

Darien Rugby Team Stuns Delbarton The Darien High School Rugby Club defeated previously unbeaten Delbarton, N.J., 20-19, in a rugby game Saturday in Morristown, N.J. The Blue Wave's relentless pressure, at set pieces and in the loose, helped them knock off the Metropolitan region's top-ranked rugby club. It was a cliffhanger from start to finish. Darien opened the scoring when captain Sam McCarthy scored an early try, after a drive close to the Delbarton line. McCarthy added the conversion to put New Canaan up 7-0. Delbarton replied, tying the game until McCarthy once again scored a try, assisted by the close support of t…

High Schoolers Are a Hit With Young Ballplayers Alex Stickley gazed intently at the Staples High School players as they took the field during Friday's game against New Canaan. "I've never seen high schoolers play,'' said Alex, an 8-year-old second-grader at Coleytown Elementary School in Weston. "There sure is a lot of action." Alex, who plays for the Knicks in the Westport Little League, was among about 40 young ballplayers on hand for Little League day as Staples played New Canaan. The youngsters greeted the Staples players before the game, some served as bat boys during the game, and they ran the bases afterward. "It's been fun being p…

New Canaan Star Shines in Very Different Sports New Canaan High School senior Alex Farina is the rare two-sport standout. The sports in which he excels make him totally unique. Farina is 3-1 with one save for the Rams' baseball team. In the winter, he won the Class L state championship in the shot put. Farina says the skills in each are surprisingly similar. "The release for pitching is shoulder oriented,'' Farina said. "For the shot put, it's a bench press. They both start from the stationary position. For pitching, it's the leg lift to generate torque. For the shot, it's keeping the shot over your right foot and turning your hips." …
